“天癸”新解

随着医学技术和理论的发展,现代对于"天癸"的研究也颇多,认为"天癸"多与生殖功能相关,不再是月经的代名词。近代受到西方妇产科学、生理学及内分泌学的影响,对"天癸"的研究自民国时期开始采用中西医结合的思路,把"天癸"物质化,认为"天癸"是生殖腺(睾丸、卵巢)、精子或卵子、荷尔蒙,这是中国传统医学的发展与进步。经过后世医家不断的解读和完善,"天癸"学说得到了不断的丰富和发展,结合西方医学的生理学知识,"天癸"的认识领域逐渐拓宽,"天癸"不是仅仅单纯物质的一种指代,更多的是与生殖、遗传、内分泌、神经及免疫系统关系密切,是一个泛化的概念,是物质性与功能性的统一。

New Understanding of "Tiangui"

Along with the development of the medical technology and theory,the research on Tiangui in modern times has been enriched.It is related to the reproduction function but not menstruation.Influenced by the western gynecological science,physiology and endocrine science,the researchers of Tiangui tend to apply the thoughts of integrated Chinese and western medicine from the period of the Republic of China,materialize Tiangui and regard Tiangui as genital glands (testis,ovary),sperm or ovum,hormone,which is the development and advancement of traditional Chinese medicine.With continuous understanding and perfection of doctors in later generations,the theory of Tiangui has been continuously enriched and developed.Combined with the physiology knowledge in western medicine,the recognition of Tiangui has been broadened gradually.Tiangui is not only simply material but more related to the reproduction,heredity,endocrine,nerves and immune system;it is a generalized concept and the unification of materiality and function.Therefore,Tiangui is impacted by western countries,the recognition of its nature and function has a series of new understandings.
